One of our EC2 instances in us-east-1c is unavailable and stuck in "stopping" state after a force stop. Interestingly enough, EC2 instances in us-east-1b don't seem to be affected. The console is throwing errors from time to time. As usual no information on AWS status page.

Was stuck on stopping in us-east-1b. Cannot start now.

The people who maintain the unofficial site would have, at some point, used their CTRL and C keys followed not immediately, but closely by, their CTRL and V keys.

But that is copyright infringement. You're not allowed to copy some work, modify it, then slap the original copyright on it. This is an illegal website, prone to being taken down by AWS. It's just strange.

Satire is the loophole of Copyright. If you satire ANYTHING you can use their copyrights in the satire. One could safely and legally drive an entire nation's transportation industry thru that loophole.

I had the same issue with unavailable, but on an instance in us-east-1b. Finally just got the force stop to go through a minute ago and it's now running and available again.

I'm not sure if we should say "AWS is down" if only us-east-1 is down. That region is more unstable than Marjorie Taylor Greene on a one-legged stool.

The thing is, us-east-1 represents the whole AWS for the majority of us.

Can we please stop saying, “AWS is down”?

AWS consists of over 200 services offered in 86 availability zones in 26 regions each with their own availability.

If one service in one availability zone being impaired equals a post about “AWS is down” we might as well auto-post that every day.

I would be worried because getting taken down is Amazon’s speciality.

Actually, having a satire site taken down over copyright is one of the best ways to extort large amounts of money from the copyright holder, because constitutional attorneys will seep from the floorboards and appear in your shower trying to be an attorney on that case. Satire is extremely protected speech.

The 1c part is meaningless. Those letters are randomized per customer to prevent letter biases from leading to more people in 1a for instance.
